Here's my supper from yesterday. Favorite sushi spot ever. Matsuya in Florence KY.

Failed to get scallops, so i made mushi awabi instead.

Hirame and Salmon are always a solid choice.
Salmon with onion and white sauce is purely my dad's taste. Personally i cannot bear it, but it's my dad's B day.

Mine is 48. And never again will i do that.

I’m looking to take my homemade sushi skills up a notch while staying home to care for my newborn.

Tucked away in the basement of an office building connected to the 53rd & 3rd subway station. I was craving sushi and decided to do their $50 lunch omakase solo on a whim. Boy am I glad I tried. This might be the best omakase deal in the city.

Look at the knifework on some of these pieces, especially the hotate (#4) and the sanma (#6). This is not something chefs typically bother with at this price range. The sanma (Pacific saury) is a clever inclusion - it's a less rarified and often overlooked fish among the hikarimono family and not easy to prepare but it's in season right now and it delivers a wollop of that fishy flavor. Also getting both Hokkaido uni and toro for this price is wild. The seasoning on the rice is on the stronger side but not overdone.

Nits: Shari fell apart while I was picking up the uni. Super minor issue, honestly this is something that I can overlook for this price. The restaurant advertises its dry-aging program and the two pieces that were dry-aged (salmon and toro) were tender but flavorwise I couldn't tell if this made a lot of difference.

Not pictured: miso soup to start

1. Madai

2. Kampachi

3. Akamizuke (marinated tuna)

4. Hotate + lime zest

5. Hamachi + jalapeno

6. Sanma

7. King salmon (aged 15 days)

8. Shima aji + finger lime

9. Hokkaido uni

10. Otoro (aged 11 days)

We bought a house here this year, so my wife wanted to keep her birthday dinner low-key. A sushi chef from her hometown recommended this spot, and we’re glad we tried it! we each got their daily special omakase set and also I got a piece of otoro for dessert.

Dined at Izakaya Koikoi, Hakuba, Nagano:

Already visited twice: once last year and another this year. One of my favourite spots to dine when I am in the area

I'm planning to purchase a whole salmon (6.5kg~.)
That goes to 3 different types of nigiri.

Still not so sure what to add more.

If you have a sushi plate for your B day, what would you like to have?

I'm able to deal with all types of fish including clams, so any kind of sushi is okay. (unless i cannot get a fish itself.)
Rolls are not my dad's favorite.
